    I've been to the Tinley Expo several times. I will be going to the one in March as well. I would suggest you get there early. I am actually getting the VIP pass so I can go the night before the crowd comes in. I want to have options available without the stresses of other buyers lol. I have arrived at the show at various times and it was never an issue getting in. Good luck!

    I have been to Tinley several times, although not in March (we've always gone in October). It is a great show and I highly recommend going! We usually get the VIP tickets so we can browse on Friday night. We'll be going in March this year though and don't have the time to arrive too early on Friday so we'll just get the regular ticket this spring and save the VIP for October. Those VIP tickets are expensive, but worth it!

    DO go EARLY, whether you buy your ticket online or not. The line to get in is LONG. Tickets are available at the door, so you don't have to get it online, but it might be faster if you do.

    You DO need to show a receipt at the door to pick up your pass if you've purchased the ticket ahead of time online. But a printed receipt is fine. You mom does not have to be there to show it. If you've used your name to buy the ticket and just use your mom's email, then you can be the one to show the receipt. HOWEVER, I do not know if you have to be a certain age to enter the show alone. You might want to try and find that out first.....

    DO treat any snake you buy prophylactically for mites. I take a bottle of Reptile Spray from Reptile Basics with me and spray down every new snake I buy in the hotel sink ( :O ) then place them in a small tub which I've wiped down with the Spray as well. The Reptile Spray is safe to use on your snakes which is why, in this situation, it is better to use than Provent-A-Mite. Use paper towels in the tub and a small water bowl. I have NEVER brought home a single mite when I do this - and I have bought a snake or two with mites. This WORKS.

    DO go and have fun!! :D
